In Extended Classical Mechanics, the energy–frequency relation
E = hf
is more fundamental than
E = mc²; the concept of rest mass
m₀ is not physically meaningful, even at the Planck scale. Energy emerges first through frequency transformations:
f₀ = fᴘ + Δf₀
Figure 1: ECM energy–frequency flowchart illustrating the emergence of PE and KE from fundamental Planck-scale frequency dynamics.
From this, the universal energy partition follows naturally:
PEuniv = PEeffuniv + KEuniv
PEeffuniv ≡ PEuniv − ΔPEuniv
Thus, potential and kinetic energies, along with mass manifestations, are derivative consequences of fundamental frequency dynamics, making
E = hf the primary descriptor of physical reality.
